Knowing how to choose the right hairstyles for overweight women is a must! It is a necessity for ladies with a feminine body at any age. In this article, we have rounded up a selection of the 30 most fascinating hairstyles for plus-size women over 50, but they will definitely work perfectly for any age.

Check out and let us know what you think in the comments below!

1. Feathered Shag Haircut. Does short hair make you look thinner or fatter? Well, it depends on how you style your hair. Adding some height to the crown with wispy layers makes your face appear longer. Layering short-to-medium hair definitely slims down a chubby face.

2. Short Blonde Wavy Hair. For a heavy-set woman with a round face, lovely blonde hair is a great asset. A medium-length shag is one of the most flattering haircuts for this body type and face shape. Face-framing layers and a side part help to make the face look less rounded. The layers and flyaways also give the extra volume and conceal thinning hair if it’s needed.

3. Ashy Feathered Hairstyle. Opting for a medium hairstyle with feathered flipped-up layers is a great slimming hair hack. The uneven layers with their ends flipped backwards do a lot to narrow a round face and make it look less chubby.

4. Medium Swoopy Layers. This lustrous layered hair with flipped up ends can be just the right hairstyle for you. Why? Texture, layers, and color come together to produce a stunning, voluminous and dimensional, balanced look with a rejuvenating effect.

5. Balayaged Wavy Hairstyle. Keep your looks trendy and classy with adorable wavy hairstyles like the one in this picture. An amazing dark blonde hair color and a lovely cloud of curly ends make this style a great example of flattering curly hairstyles for women with chubby faces. The volume distracts attention from those parts of your face that you’d prefer to keep in the shadow.

6. Haircut with Bangs and Glasses. Steal this look p-l-e-a-s-e if you’re looking for a fantastic haircut that is playful and still professional.

7. Ash Blonde Midi Cut. Life begins at forty isn’t just a cliché, make it your experience and try the following fascinating hairstyle. This feathered midi cut with lowlights could make any fashionista go green with envy.

8. Textured Bob with Side Bangs. Angles can work magic, and this layered elongated bob with sliced ends, side parting, and long side-swept bangs has plenty of them to offset the chubby face.

9. Long Shag with Feathered Bangs. A great hairstyle for fuller faces and double chins should take attention away from the chin as well as tone down the fullness of your face. This lovely shoulder-length blonde hair with uneven wispy bangs does exactly that, plus it works for sagging necks too!

10. Shoulder-Grazing Shag. As demonstrated by this rebellious style, shaggy haircuts can create a youthful look full of fun, texture, and movement, with lots of volume balancing the massiveness of the face and body.

11. Asymmetric Pixie. You should copy this sassy style ASAP since it catches the eye with the stark contrast between the long and cropped sections. The model’s face looks perfectly balanced!

12. Long Angled Pixie Cut. Short hair surely does look cute on ladies of any age if cut right. The angled pixie haircut with some feathered crown layers is an incredibly beautiful hairstyle for the ladies who wear glasses. Tease up your hair to give it a fascinating shaggy appearance.

13. Short Brunette Bob. Looking for the right bob hairstyle? For brunettes with thicker short hair, this no-fuss haircut is a fashionable way to cover the sides of your face and it works wonderfully for a fuller face and double chin.

14. Silver Hair with Highlights. This silver style is a great pick for fuller-figure women in later years since the layers make it bouncy and voluminous while the color encourages them to embrace natural graying.

15. Pixie with Wispy Bangs. This lady shows us a haircut demonstrating that neither mature age nor higher body weight and a curvy figure should prevent a woman from opening up her face and rocking a short pixie cut!

16. Fine Hair Short-to-Medium Shag. Side-part your hair to smooth out the roundness of your face. For ladies with thinner hair types, stepping away from the traditional straight part and trying an alternating pattern will volumize the hair better than any commercial volumizing product! Tease your hair a bit to add volume to your thinning hair.

17. Rooty Bob with Extra Volume. Women who are 40+ can arrive at a fresher and more balanced look with a slightly layered and textured bob wrapped in a dimensional and effortless blonde.

18. Side-Parted Lob with Lift. Elongation plays a major role in haircuts, and the side part in this luminous lob allows lifting the hair at the roots and thus contributes to some extra height.

19. Icy Blonde Feathered Cut. Feathered texture brings both lightness and a host of angles into hair, with the former softening mature faces and the latter counterbalancing the chubbiness.

20. Long Straight Hairstyle. If you want to know what haircut makes you look younger, just try a classic long bob or a layered shoulder-length haircut. Longer full hairstyles look good on heavy-set women.

21. Shoulder-Length Wavy Hair. Some golden bronde highlights, soft beach waves, longer front pieces, a nice side-part, and your regular long bob goes from basic to impressively pretty. A beautiful hairstyle to go for at any age and with any body type.

22. Choppy Bob with Lengthy Bangs. That’s why hair stylists recommend incorporating long side-swept bangs — they give the eye a vertical line to follow and hit the cheekbones to define them nicely.

23. Shaggy Medium Waves. Getting excessive weight removed to release waves is one of the best ways to add some balancing volume to your hairstyle, let alone that rejuvenating texture and movement.

24. Chin-Length Bob with Bangs. Plump faces can be visually slimmed in different ways, and this playful blonde bob uses a deep but not blunt fringe to build more height and accentuate the eyes.

25. Toffee Brown Balayaged Layers. A good hairstyle should deliver not only slimming but also refreshing effects, such as created by this well-blended balayage suiting the lady’s complexion to a tee.

26. Rounded Bob with Highlights. This classic bob with long side bangs can be the best option among short cuts for a woman who is not comfortable with opening up the face since it leaves enough hair to use as a safety blanket.

27. Voluminous Long Pixie. Pixie cuts with longer top strands work fine for a plus-size body shape, provided they have ample lift at the roots and/or texture around the crown to balance out the build.

28. Heavily Feathered Pixie. This is a longer and far more textured version of the pixie, which is flattering for large women because of the dimension it creates in the upper part.

29. Very Short Hairstyle. We couldn’t resist adding this delightful crop to this collection of haircuts! The unique and cheerful layering and subtle youthful highlights are so captivating.

30. Lightweight Champaign Blonde Bob. A straight bob like this can be the number one choice for finer hair since it comes with some wispy layers to raise the crown while retaining the body around the ends.
